'.....as a source of what is delicate and green, fragrant and ephemeral, nothing can compare with a garden. Just as ripeness is all in a parsnip or a pear, almost the whole value of some crops is in their fleeting freshness.

I seldom manage to serve peas for dinner, because the children eat them all in the garden . standing by the vines and grazing.'
